What do you think dating is?
What?
You see, people don't just date for fun.
There are responsibilities that come with dating.
You must make the other person happy.
Don't you know that? Have you never dated anyone?
Have you been single all your life?
No, I've had many boyfriends.
I can be good when it's real.
When it's real?
This is fake.
I guess it is since we have no feelings for each other.
But whether or not this is purely based on a contract,
you're responsible for it since it has already begun,
and you must do your best.
You always work hard.
Even when you're gluing envelopes, you make sure they look perfect.
So why are you being such a slacker with this?
What are you talking about? I went to all the places...
and have been cooperative.
Exactly. You've just been following my suggestions.
You need to be a little more proactive...
to achieve your own goals,
don't you think?
Okay, although I don't know why I have to work so hard.
By the way, are you going to keep using the honorifics?
We're supposed to talk casually when no one else is around.
Well, I don't think we actually have that kind of relationship.
This isn't even real, and it'll end soon.
If we get too used to it, it could lead to trouble.
Think about it.
I just wanted to keep myself busy so I wouldn't be...
sitting in my room feeling lonely thinking about Ji Wan all day,
and you just needed someone. It didn't have to be me.
So it worked out, that's all.
We don't need to get too immersed in it, right?
(Be My Dream Family)
Okay.
Oh, he's here. Just a moment, please.
Ms. Jung Soo Jin is on the phone for you.
Okay.
Geum Sang Min speaking.
Yes.
Okay.
Oh, sorry.
I thought it was urgent, seeing how she called at this hour.
No, don't be sorry. It's okay.
She wanted to know if the drawing was ready for tomorrow.
I see.
Right, there's a lot to do.
I understand why she was worried.
But it's late. If she's still working...
She must be swamped since she's organizing the event.
Everyone's working so hard.
I'll double-check everything too.
Okay, sure.
Breakfast is ready!
Why are you still in bed?
Is your new job stressful?
No, I'm fine.
I guess I've had it too easy before I started this job.
I'm fine.
What do you mean you've had it easy? Housework isn't easy.
What's wrong? Do your joints hurt?
No, I'm really fine.
Your job is physically taxing too.
And you have to deal with people, which is most stressful.
My job's nothing compared to that.
How are the people you see at work?
Your co-workers and the residents.
Everyone's nice.
The senior security guard is very gentle and kind.
You said you've been to Yoo Young's place.
The whole apartment complex is quiet. There isn't much to do.
I'm glad to hear that. Take it easy though.
Don't do things you don't have to do just to impress people.
Don't overwork yourself and fall ill.
Be clever about it, okay?
Don't do more than what you're told to do.
I should work hard.
I'll make sure you won't have to worry about me.
Let's go eat.
Okay, let's have breakfast.
Gosh, my back hurts.
What's wrong?
I've never slept on the floor before.
My back's killing me.
How could you complain about that in front of me?
I told you to go sleep at your place.
What are you talking about?
We must stay together 24-7 since we're married.
If you want to live here, I'll live here with you.
I'm still angry at you.
Don't think you'll be forgiven by being all cutesy.
I know. Even my mom scolded me big-time yesterday.
She's really upset because your mom's angry.
I will never drink again. Not even a single drop.
I'll come home right after school,
and I'll stay by your side 24-7.
- Thanks, In Seo. - No problem.
- Good morning. - Hi.
Min Ah is hungry.
I'll take some food to her room later. Have a seat.
Okay. Thank you, In Seo.
Oh, I usually eat light for breakfast.
I can't really digest rice in the morning.
Can I have toast instead?
What are you saying?
You drank and passed out when Min Ah wasn't feeling well.
Must we go pick up bread and serve it to you with jam on it?
No, I'm sorry.
Just eat this.
Wait.
Yes?
Are you going to stay here?
Yes, of course. I should stay by Min Ah's side.
I brought my clothes and other things yesterday.
Then while you're staying here, be on your best behavior...
and try not to stress out Min Ah and her mother.
Here, you can't whine...
like you do at your place.
Okay.
Although I don't think you'll listen to me.
You've seen me get slapped by my own father,
so you probably think that I'm a joke too.
But even so,
I am your father-in-law.
Be good to my daughter. Do you understand?
Yes, I'll be very good to her.
And I don't think you're a joke.
Such a thought never even crossed my mind.
I'm glad to hear that.
Come straight home after school and stay with Min Ah.
Okay, see you later.
- See you later. - See you later.
- See you.
You know that Min Hee's drama airs today, right?
Come home early so we can all watch it together.
Okay, we should watch it when it airs.
Have a good day, guys.
Have a good day. See you later.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Wait up. - Okay.
Just a moment.
I know that my father is in the wrong,
but it's not like he owes your family an apology.
He and your mother have made up,
so why are you openly ignoring him?
Don't you think you're out of line?
Mr. Geum, it's not like that.
How could you do that in front of his own son?
I know you don't care about hurting my feelings,
but you keep openly ignoring my father.
I think it comes down to manners.
- "Manners"? - Come on.
Let's go.
Geu Roo, please.
Let's go.
I'll have another talk with Geu Roo.
Leave her be. It's okay.
Oh, I'm having dinner with Sang Baek today.
I'll be home early so we can watch Min Hee's drama together.
Right, that was today.
Okay, buy him some good food and catch up.
He just started a new job, so he must be tired.
Maybe you two should go to the sauna together.
Okay, I'll talk to him.
I'll do this with your daughters too.
One step at a time.
So I have to practice jumping rope starting tomorrow.
Sure, that's no problem. I'm very good at it.
You say that about everything.
Yi Jae, are those new shoes? I've never seen them before.
Yes, my mom sent them for me.
Oh, really? So you're talking to your mom again.
- That's great. - Yes.
She's away for work right now,
but she said she's coming for me.
She sent me these new running shoes...
so I could wear new shoes to work.
Mom, Yi Jae is staying with his dad just until the end of the year.
After that, he'll go live with his mom again.
Oh, I see.
I'm sad to hear that.
Then we should have more fun while Yi Jae is here.
Sounds good.
Mom, we should go.
Oh, right. Go on in.
- See you later. - Bye, Mom.
- Bye! - Bye, have fun!
So he's leaving.
Hello, Han Da Bal speaking.
Hello, ma'am. How did you get my number?
A blind date? Gosh, no.
I told you I'm not interested.
Oh, we'll prepare the fabric for the fashion designer experience.
We're going to have people put clothes on the characters,
so we need the info on the colors.
Right, then we'll share the file with you tomorrow.
Okay, thank you. You should head back in.
- Bye. - Bye.
Actually, it's lunchtime soon. How about we have lunch together?
Oh, shall we? Then it's our treat.
No, it's okay. I should treat you to thank you for your hard work.
Mr. Geum should join us too.
Yes, of course. I'll go tell him.
Just a moment.
We could've gone to a nicer place.
The food here is very good.
I'm not sure if you like this kind of food,
but this is the best restaurant in this area.
I wanted you to try the food here.
I see. Let's order.
I'll have the lunch set.
Us too. My teacher...
I mean, that's Mr. Geum's favorite too.
- Right? - Yes.
Three lunch sets, please.
By the way, did you just call him "teacher"?
I think I've heard you call him like that before too.
Oh, he taught me at an academy...
when I was preparing for art school back in 12th grade.
I shouldn't call him like that at work,
but I keep forgetting.
Thank you.
I got it.
It must be hard for you to come all the way here.
We'll go to your office for our next meeting.
It's okay. It's nice to step out of the office like this.
That's true. Sometimes, I even forget what season it is.
Just a moment.
Hello, Mr. Lee. We're having lunch...
Oh, that file.
I'll come back now and find it for you. Okay.
I'm sorry. My manager needs me.
Please go ahead and eat.
I may not be able to come back, so enjoy your lunch.
See you at our next meeting.
Hey, you should eat before you go.
See you.
My goodness.
You two seem very close.
What are you trying to say?
Are you two seeing each other?
Are you kidding me? We're family.
Family?
But she said you were her art teacher.
Don't ask. It's just...
Some stuff happened.
Anyway, we're family now.
You have different surnames, but you're family?
Is she a distant relative?
I've never met your family, but I know your family history.
What's your relationship with her?
You know that much about me?
Then you must also know...
that I won't be able to enjoy the food if I eat with you.
Don't go.
Don't leave me alone here.
Don't do that to me.
- That restaurant is good. - That's why it's expensive.
Gosh, I ate way too much. I'm supposed to be on a diet.
- Goodness. - Eating a big lunch is okay.
Yes, that's true.
Ms. In, can you spare me a moment?
Yes?
What is it?
I heard you made Heon sleep on a bare floor.
He told you already?
He's such a mama's boy indeed.
Not on the bare floor.
He said his back was hurting even with two blankets laid out,
so I even gave him a cotton-filled blanket.
In any case, is that how you treat your son-in-law?
Do you even want to be nice to him?
Well, what more can I do for him?
Min Ah needs absolute rest right now.
She needs to sleep comfortably.
Was I supposed to make them sleep side by side in that tiny bed,
or kick my son out of his room so he could have the bed?
Or, should I have given him our master bedroom?
Stop making such a fuss over it.
This is why I told him to sleep at his or your place,
but he insisted on sleeping there.
Of course, Heon would say he'd stay by his wife's side.
He's so good to her.
You should've taken better care of him.
Did he drink and pass out because he's so good to her?
It only happened once.
It's only happened once since he started college.
I'm sorry she happened to be feeling sick that day.
I do feel bad,
but you need to be more understanding as an adult.
Why must you be so mean to him?
How much longer will you keep this up?
When was I mean to him?
He can't lie low for a few days when he's clearly at fault?
He at least needs to show us that he's regretting his actions.
Aren't you getting in?
All right, then.
Going up. Doors closing.
Darn it!
- Dad. - Hey.
I'm sorry. Did I keep you waiting long?
No, let's go.
Okay. By the way, where are we going?
Is there something you want to eat?
What?
I can't believe we're eating out together, just the two of us.
We ate out together when you were little.
We had jjajangmyeon.
Oh, I see. I don't really remember.
Hey, don't do that!
They put the meat on the grill just now.
Leave it. There's no need to rush.
Oh, okay.
Well...
How's work going?
It's good.
What's good?
Everyone's nice, and I'm quite comfortable there.
Dad, how's work going for you?
Well, it's the same every day.
I see.
Should I flip it now?
Oh, yes. Go ahead.
- Here's your naengmyeon. - Great.
- Thank you. - Enjoy.
Do you love vinegar that much?
What?
This is how I like to eat it.
You should eat it after you finish all the meat.
If you eat that first, you'll get full.
And it'll be too sour with all the vinegar.
I like it though.
Gosh, this is killing me. What is this?
I thought it was supposed to help improve my relationship with Dad.
He invited me out to dinner...
and yelled at me for putting vinegar in my naengmyeon.
- Goodness. - I can't do this again, honey.
Gosh, sit straight.
It was awfully awkward. I couldn't even breathe.
I had nothing to say to him.
We had never asked each other how we were doing,
so I thought we'd have a lot to talk about.
That's how it is.
It's easy to chat with people you see every day,
but it's hard to do when you're not used to it.
So? Is this it? You won't do it again?
Of course, I should keep doing it. This was just the first time.
I'll have dinner with him again soon.
Good. Look at you struggling to digest a few pieces of meat.
One meal isn't enough to break down the wall between you two.
Take your time. One step at a time.
I'll press down here.
There you go.
This is too weak.
It doesn't really go with the lead character's psyche.
This is why I asked you to deal with the copyright issue...
for "Special Gift from Soomongjo".
It's not like I didn't want to do it.
I told you that the publisher is crazy.
We really don't make a good team.
I think we're only doing each other harm by working together.
What are you talking about?
You always nitpick about everything,
so I got your date and time of birth from the assistant director...
and went to see a fortune-teller.
She said we're bad for each other.
Will this even work?
Of course, it will! What are you talking about all of a sudden?
And you're a well-educated writer.
How could you believe in such superstitions...
when you always act like you're more intelligent than others?
Because I was so frustrated, beyond frustrated!
She said we're like polar opposites,
but it may work because we're so different.
Although I'll need to put up with a lot.
Thanks to you, I'll learn to become more patient.
You're not the only one who has to be patient.
I don't talk about everything, but it's not like I don't work.
From the music and art to the camera work,
I must oversee everything and hired the best of the best.
I have to scout the locations too.
And I have to revise the storyboard every time the script is out.
I always think about how to achieve the best mise-en-scene.
I have so much to do.
Right, thank you. Thank you for your hard work.
Let's go.
I have to go change the script again since you don't like it.
By the way, doesn't Min Hee's drama air today?
I've been watching it.
I saw the preview. She'll be in today's episode.
Make sure you watch at least some of it today.
Forget it. I'm sure she went overboard again.
Do you have time to watch someone else's drama?
Focus on ours.
My gosh.
Hello, Mother. You saw it?
Wasn't I so good? I did such a great job.
I didn't know I was such an amazing actress.
I mean, I looked so pretty even with that dowdy makeup!
Yes, you looked pretty, and your acting is amazing too.
And it's such a fun drama.
Right? This will be the drama of my life.
I'm Jung Yoon Ae now, not Oh Min Hee anymore.
When actors can totally become their characters,
people call them by their characters' names.
Now, the entire nation will forget that I'm Oh Min Hee.
Everyone will remember me as Jung Yoon Ae.
Yes, I think so too. My kids watched it with us.
They're saying everyone's praising your performance online.
- My gosh. - Go take a look.
Okay, I will.
Yes, good night.
Really? Let me see.
My gosh.
Hi, Mom! Did you see it?
Oh, my mother-in-law called, so I was talking to her.
Thank you, Mom.
For bringing me into this world, looking this pretty.
See? When I insisted on moving to Seoul...
to pursue acting, you told me that we should just...
shave our heads and become monks if I wasn't serious about it.
If I listened to you and did that, I wouldn't be where I am now.
I wish Dad was still alive to see this.
Mom, I have to call the director.
I'll call you back in a bit.
Okay.
Oh, Director! It's me.
Director, I love you so much!
I want to give you a big hug right now!
I'm not asking you to accept me back right away,
nor am I saying we should get back together.
I just want you to think about my situation and where I stand.
My parents kept asking me about my longtime boyfriend,
hounding me about getting married soon,
but you never said anything about it.
You just said you'd become an artist with nothing lined up.
I left you, so I didn't know we'd meet again.
Because I knew you'd never drop your pride to see me again.
But we met again by chance.
This ended up happening.
Hey, Jung Woo.
Yes. You've been well, right?
Oh, Tae Wook is getting married?
I see.
Yes, I should be there.
But the thing is, Soo Jin will be at the wedding. Jung Soo Jin.
You haven't seen her since you two broke up, right?
I'm not sure if you'll be okay with seeing her there.
Will you be all right?
Yes, it's fine. I should be at Tae Wook's wedding.
You're one thing, but I'm worried about Soo Jin too.
She was distraught for a while after you two broke up.
She was?
Yes, I can say this now,
but I heard she was totally devastated.
You two were head over heels for each other, you know.
She should be over it by now, right?
Gosh, seriously.
Are you not feeling well? Why did you wake up?
No, I'm fine.
I woke up because of some loud thud coming from upstairs.
I'm going to pee and go back to bed.
From upstairs?
How loud was it?
Did you hear it last night too?
Yes.
It's okay though. I can sleep.
Sweet dreams.
She must be very sensitive now.
She needs to stay away from stress at all costs.
But you only wear neutrals.
That doesn't mean those are my favorite colors.
For clothes, I need to consider the design and other factors too.
Anyway, this isn't totally right. Next.
This is so wrong. When did I do this?
You do this. Your nostrils widen when you see delicious food.
This is your habit.
No, I swear. I never do this.
- When did I do this? - This is totally you.
What are you doing?
My gosh!
(Be My Dream Family)
